It would have been difficult to understand what is “new” in this picture – if it were not for the title.

Artistically speaking...it's not a very intersting image. But good try! :) The colors, lighting, and focus are all perfect.

this picture has a strong appearance of a snap shot. An other perspective could have show the focus of the listeners on the author, details of the new book, may be some interaction with the author (e.g. signing a book). All you show me is big number of heads from behind and a big projection screen.
